the last book I ever read (Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel by Robin Sloan, excerpt two)

from Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel by Robin Sloan:

To begin, I had to copy the database from Penumbra’s old Mac Plus onto my laptop, which was actually not a trivial task, since the Mac Plus uses plastic floppy disks and there’s no way to get one of those into a MacBook. I had to buy an old USB floppy drive on eBay. It cost three dollars, plus five for shipping, and it felt strange to plug it into my laptop.
